Too few urban dwellers actually know or understand the enormous benefits available within the Outdoor Industry. Urban American Outdoors facilitates the Annual Urban Outdoor Summit to enlighten Urbanites, and inform them of the ever growing possibilities that exist within the industry. From this collective gathering, Urban American Outdoors hopes to move to a national platform broadening the focus of conservationist to encompass job creation and the vast economic opportunities within the industry.

Other objectives of the Summit include reconnecting Urban Americans with outdoor spaces; promoting “green living”, along with, sharing conservation and environmental sustainability ideas for our stewardship of earth. UAO believes it is critical that our children learn their rightful place in the outdoor arena, healthy food alternatives provided by the industry, and have positive relatable multimedia images.
